Community records
SKIP (2026-09-18 deepen-x; re-verified 2026-09-21 twice, incl. ROCSA/“ROC student association” pattern grep returning zero hits): no corpus mention of MIT ROCSA. Memoir hits for “Republic of China student association” concern the UW Formosan Club debate ([[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys81|Our Journeys #81]]) and other campuses, not this MIT organization. Fresh grep re-run: the only “MIT” corpus hits are the ITASA conference venue (On Discovering Passion & Purpose) and a passing bio note (Gloria Chao blurb) — neither concerns ROCSA. Nothing absorbable without inventing biography.
